Hmm just quickly & having read some replies not all.

Looking at 'nature vs nurture' I have always thought it is both.

My first thoughts reading the thread title were a discussion I had with a friend of mine years ago...
That if you can recognise a trait in yourself, and especially if you can see where it cam e from, then you are then responsible for it, not your parents.

So for example, I say I am basically a fairly insecure & needy person because I suffered rejection as a child.
But once I can recognise that, it is my responsibility to fix it, deal with it, or accept that way of being.

But having said that...the fact that there is an issue there to deal with...well, that was down to how I was parented.

Does that make sense?

For a long time I blamed my childhood & how I was treated as a child, for my depression & anxiety. A number of things have caused me to rethink this, one of which is I see the same behaviours in my older children - and they have not had the childhood I did.
So there is something there to attribute to 'nature'. But perhaps the 'nurture' conrtibuted to it.

AR is calling but I will be back to read properly.
